Two Labour councillors are calling for the demolition and replacement of public toilets on Mutley Plain.

Cllr Chaz Singh and Cllr Margaret Corvid, Drake Ward, have called on Plymouth City Council to knock down the loos at the bottom of Mutley Plain as part of the Plymouth Labour pledge to regenerate district shopping centres, including Mutley Plain.

“It’s important that people have a place to go to the loo, but these loos are attracting antisocial behaviour,” said Cllr Singh.

“We are calling on the council to demolish this block and to build a safe, purpose–built new block somewhere that can be observed for safety.”

The councillors are also calling on local businesses to let passers-by use the loo if they ask. Championed by the British Toilet Association, this strategy “is a way for businesses to support a welcoming and vibrant shopping district” according to Cllrs Singh and Corvid.
